Future proof alternatives to chocolate
05 Nov 2025 | Cargill
Today, nearly 75% of EU consumers say that sustainability influences their chocolate choices. But with cocoa becoming scarcer and more expensive, price remains a major barrier for consumers to buy more sustainable products.
That’s where NextCoa™ steps in – Cargill’s no cocoa confectionery alternative to chocolate. Developed in partnership with food tech company Voyage Foods, NextCoa ™ delivers the irresistible taste and sensory delight consumers crave – at a more competitive cost than chocolate.
And it’s not just delicious – it’s revolutionary. NextCoa™ reduces carbon footprint by up to 67%, uses 90% less land, and consumes 95% less water in comparison to chocolate. Crafted from beloved plant-based ingredients like grape seeds and sunflower, it’s label-friendly!
